Donald Trump has butted heads with a reporter during a White House press briefing, telling the journalist to “keep your voice down”.
Things got heated during the press conference when CBS reporter Weijia Jiang asked why the US president didn’t warn citizens about the virus in February and implement social distancing rules earlier.

During the briefing, an excerpt from Mr Cuomo’s earlier press briefing was played in which he praised the government’s efforts in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Mr Trump hit out again when a different reporter questioned why he was playing clips of people praising the government for their response when there had been over 40,000 virus-related deaths in the US.
